She looks pretty good to me! The origional 4 into 4 exaust looks like it is in great shape. She should be a great bike to learn on.

 My advice would be to get it running, and work will magicaly start popping up. Download the factory service manual at the top of this page, and start going through the bike, doing basic maintenence and getting into the finer tuning as your abilities advance. You will be surprised at how much maintenence stuff these bikes require, but once its done, you will have a great understanding of these machines.

Look for other build threads for the DOHC bikes (79-82) and peruse them, you will gain a lot of knowledge about yopur own bike.

Work hard, but most of all have fun!
